If you want to know the secret that trainers are selling for hundreds of dollars on Internet and making millions out of it, then this article is the right place for you to know.

If you have done Facebook ads in past then you must know that one thing which is the key to success - right 'Audience'. Here are some ways to create a good audience or reach out to the right for your product in a right way:

Tripwire Marketing

A tripwire is a small part of your core offering or service that you can give for a very low price and not for direct profit. For example: if you make guitars then you can sell a set of interesting guitar picks for just $2. So to proceed with that, you need to pen down a few things:

1. What is your target group?

Like music enthusiasts, rock band guitarists etc.

2. What is your Core product or service?

This will be your most profitable, high valued and high priced product or service

3. What concept will you use as a lead magnet?

A concept associated with the problem that your product is solving, followed by a free video training or downloadable PDF that can capture leads.

4. What will be your Tripwire?

An irresistible offer for very low price.

Here is how to execute this strategy:

Create Facebook ads to capture leads by giving something irresistible for free; it should be beneficial for your target group.

Those who click on your ad should be taken to a landing page created with a few funnel steps; you can also create landing pages using platforms like Clickfunnels or Lead pages.

Once your users reach the landing page, they must be shown a very clear call to action for filling the form to receive the downloadable PDF or video tutorial.

After the form submission user should be redirected to another page with thanks message and your tripwire offering.

If the user adds your tripwire to cart, then he/she should lead to a new page with your core offer and here you can end the funnel or add more steps to it after the completion of payment.

At any step you can also send an automated mail to your subscribers using bulk mailing platforms like mailerlite or mail chimp for follow up and re-engagement. For example: if visitors have purchased your tripwire but not your core offer, then you can follow up those users by shooting a mail to them.

The biggest benefit of this strategy is that you are able to change the relationship of a general visitor to a customer and also to pay your ad campaign for itself through your Tripwire.

This lookalike audience is the sweet spot of and the kind of audience you always wanted to reach out.
